Friday Favourites: 10

Don't leave the house until you read our 5 Friday Favourites for this week.

1. Lend your life a little colour with Ita Color’s Yellow, which can be found on the ground floor of Don Qujiote in Akihabara. The salon’s resident artists will adorn your nails with an anime character or design of your choosing at a rate of ¥1,000 per 10 minutes; alternatively, choose from a range of otaku-appropriate removable nail tips if you’re in a hurry.

2. See if you can tell a Tracey Emin from a Damien Hirst at this year’s RCA Secrets, where all postcards are anonymously listed and can be bought for £45.

3. Book your tickets to see Mies Julie at the Riverside Studios today! Director Yael Farber relocates Strindberg’s nineteenth century play to South Africa in the powerful reinvention of a classic. 

4. Megane is a zine made by Star Graphics containing the works of up-and-coming Japanese artists. ‘Megane’ means ‘glasses’ in Japanese, a testament to the inspiring vision of the young artists it collates. 

5. Local museums and galleries stay open until dawn at Roppongi’s annual Art Night, which also involves a number of temporary installations and one-off performances. Don’t miss another brilliant PechaKucha event as part of Design Ah! at 21_21 Design.
